Why couldn’t Toby use his powers to target the legal and organized evils? e.g. encourage stuff like the underground railroad and harboring Jews.
A. He’s a kid.
B. His powers balance good and bad effects not order and chaos.
C. Other

I emphatically reject the philosophy of dualism as a debunked belief system. Better philosophers and thinkers than I have trashed it most thoroughly: C.S. Lewis being most noted. If Good and Evil were equal but opposite forces, then Evil and Good would be equally effective and functional— while empirical evidence shows they are not.

Toby’s powers were not balanced between Good and Evil, but between Order and Chaos, which are completely different concepts. Granted he’s a child, and hasn’t got the depth of intellect to understand that— one HOPES that someone wiser will point this out to him.
